Just to be clear: i was asking about the *generation*, not about what is
shipped.

For example, apache might ship a packaged binary installer as well as
shipping tarballs of source code.  But presumably the binary installer
is actually generated from the tarball.

If it's not clear how upstream generated the non-sfd formats, maybe it's
worth writing them to ask how they do it, or encouraging them to include
a Makefile or something in the bundle they distribute.

Thanks again for packaging this font!
